Episode 313: God's purpose for giving the Mosaic Law

Hello everyone. In tonight's Bible study we continue our series on Foundation: Revelation, Purpose, & Determined.

Tonight we discover God's purpose for giving the Mosaic Law. Was it given for us to obey? Not according to the scriptures.

You may say, What? Doesn't God want us to obey His commandments? Of course He does! The problem isn't with the Law, it is holy, righteous, just, and true. The problem is with YOU and I!!!

What??? Oh yes, my friend. The problem is that we as wicked, wretched, rotten to the core, filthy sinners cannot obey the Law in accordance with God's requirements and standards which is perfection in holiness and righteousness.

Will you listen to the scriptures?
Romans 3:19-20
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Romans 7:7-14
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Romans 8:3-4
For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Friend, you can't get there from here. Trying to keep God's holy laws is impossible because people who are DEAD "in trespasses and sins" cannot obey!!!!

Tonight's study is 53 minutes in duration. I have broken it into two segments. This is segment 1 of 2 titled "God's purpose for giving the Mosaic Law."
